Troubleshooting
The stamp impression is light or faded
Check the ink pad to see if it is dry. You may need to replace the ink pad or re-ink it using high-quality stamp pad ink.
Characters are not printing clearly
Ensure that all characters are seated at the same depth in the grooves. Press them firmly into place with the tweezers.
Stamp is stuck in the downward position
Ensure the locking buttons on the side of the unit are fully disengaged, and check for any debris or loose characters that might be jamming the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your stamp, remove the stamp plate from the unit or lock it in the downward position using the side buttons. Use the included tweezers to pick letters from the character tray and press them into the grooved rubber plate. Ensure you place characters in reverse (mirror image) so that they print correctly on the paper. For maintenance, keep the stamp stored in its upright position when not in use to preserve the ink pad. If the impression becomes faint, the integrated pad is easily accessible for re-inking or replacement. Keep the unit away from extreme heat to avoid drying out the ink.
